•Patients and survivors are eligible to participate in this study, when they are between 18 and 60 years old, when they have a primary diagnosis of cancer and when this diagnosis is registered at UWV, as the main cause for their sick-leave. Furthermore, they must be registered at UWV as a social security safety netter without an employment contract; they must have applied for a sickness benefit and they must be at sick leave for at least 3 months up to 18 months. Patients will be included if they are receiving treatment with curative intent, defined as a 1 year survival rate of ca. 80% at time of diagnosis. In case a patient is still undergoing intensive cancer treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery or a combination of those), he/she will be included at a minimum of 6 weeks after finishing these treatments.
•Amendment 21-dec-2014: They must have applied for sickness or disability benefits and
•must be on sick leave for at least 12 months up to 36 months. Patients will be included if their
•health status allows them to participate in the study (based on self-report by the cancer
•survivor) and if they have no comorbidities (e.g., severe psychological or physical conditions)
•that would interfere with participating in this study (based on report from the cancer survivor’s
•general practitioner (GP)).

•Patients will be excluded in case of comorbidity of such kind that participating in the tailored intervention program is not possible (assessment by participants’ general physician), in case of serious psychiatric disorders, in case of pregnancy, in case of a lack of knowledge of the Dutch language and/or in case of a conflict with UWV regarding a (previous) sickness benefit claim or a long-term disability claim. Additionally, patients will be excluded if they are participating or signed up to be participating in a concurrent scientific study and/or re-integration/rehabilitation program.
